I've given up coffee.

[terrya]

A few weeks back, I decided to give up coffee.

And I don't miss it as much as I thought I would. Giving it up has sort of help stablize my mood, also.

[Neoma]

1. Drink water.

It's a good drink, I guarantee you'll like it.

[terrya]

4. I've been drinking lots more water.

I've been drinking a lot of Vitamin Water lately.

2. Commie.

Caffeine is one of the 4 basic food groups. The other 3 are salt, grease, and starch...making french fries and a coke a completely balanced meal.

3. I recently became re-addicted.

Must be something about the summertime. I love venti iced coffees.

[wildhorses]

6. i have been drinking iced coffee this summer also

refreshing beverage :hi:

[JackBeck]

11. That it is.

:hi:

5. I don't usually drink coffee in the summer.

Toooo hot!
In the winter, I LOVE a french vanilla latte, though!

7. "In the winter"

In MN, wouldn't that be all the months that aren't July or August?

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

9. No way! Winter's only October through April.

Possibly May.

It snowed in June once that I recall.
So maybe *kind of* June.
September is NEVER winter, though!

:P

8. NOOOOOOO....

That is SO wrong. (Runs screaming from the room....)

[deepthought42]

12. I second that "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Without coffee, there is nothing to live for! Or at least nothing to stay awake for... :loveya::donut::loveya:


Of course, I am a proud addict...*twitch* :evilgrin:


I should add that I drink my coffee black, and that as of 12:30pm EST, I've only had 1 cup of coffee, which I didn't even finish before it was cold and icky...:boring:

[slj0101]

10. Nice!

No nasty side effects, or anything?

I should give it up. I just had a mild anxiety attack a few minutes ago.

[terrya]

13. No nasty side effects.

It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...no "withdrawal" or anything.

You should consider giving it up. You'll feel better. :-)

[Critters2]

14. I've never been a coffee drinker

Never liked the taste. So, I drink tea. Now, giving up tea would be a challenge. I need my caffeine as much as the next person.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. I gave it up several years ago....

I still drink tea now and then, and iced tea, of course.

During the work day, I guzzle water.

[jonnyblitz]

16. I gave it up when i quit cigarettes in 1999. nt

[reyd reid reed]

17. I'm....I'm....how COULD you? What about the CHILDREN?

:scared:

[cobalt1999]

18. You're not supposed to give it up to stabilize your mood, just balance it out with some wine later.

:)

[terrya]

19. That doesn't work so well during working hours.

:-)

[barb162]

20. I gave up coffee for about a year. I drink a bit now, about half a cup a day

DId you ever try decaf? I did that for a while and it's okay. I didn't miss "real" coffee that much either and there's plenty of times I drink none at all for days at a time.

[More Than A Feeling]

21. Why?

I actually didn't drink coffee at all until college, because I didn't like the taste, but now I love it.
